Ocean breezes are great for keeping cool in the summer. Once autumn sets in, however, those crashing waves chill the air faster than in places further inland. At night, the relaxing sound of waves can lull you to sleep, but also send you searching for more blankets if the house gets too cold.

That’s what happened to a senior citizen who lives near the Jersey Shore. Fortunately, Comfort Now by Bob McAllister was there to help.

Problem: The heater suddenly stopped working. The air conditioning wasn’t working properly for two years.

Solution: Install a new Carrier Infinity 2-Stage heating system and new Carrier Comfort condenser and coil.

A homeowner in Galloway, NJ, called Comfort Now in the middle of the night when he noticed the temperature drop in his home. The heater had stopped working for seemingly no reason. By 8:30 a.m., a service technician was inspecting the two-story, single-family home. While he was there, the homeowner also mentioned the air conditioning hadn’t been quite right over the past two summers.

This information led the technician to the problem. There was a cracked heat exchanger and a bad ignitor in the home’s 20-year-old York heater system. It could have meant many a cold night, but fortunately Comfort Now was able to get things fired up again with the right product and payment options.

The homeowner chose a new Carrier Infinity 2-stage heating system with a Carrier Comforter condensor and coil. It turned out to be an improvement rather than just a replacement. The Infinity models come equipped with Greenspeed technology. This means they’re able to quickly adapt to the house’s needs using unique variable-speed compressors. That makes them more efficient than older models, and even many others on the market today.

Of course, installing a whole new heating system is a big undertaking for a homeowner, especially when it’s an unexpected expense. That wasn't a problem in this case. Since the Carrier Infinity 2-Stage heating system is energy-efficient, he was eligible for the South Jersey Gas Energy Star financing program. This resulted in an interest-free loan for five years to pay for the new energy-efficient unit. As a result, Comfort Carrier had the unit installed and ready to go the next day.

Now, no matter how cold the winter gets or how high the temperatures reach in the summer, this Galloway resident sleeps soundly knowing his thermostat will stay right where he wants it.
